Managing the Euraxess label and supporting the institution in rankings.

The University of Namur recognizes the importance of extra-academic activities in the balance of student life, which is divided between three times: teaching, study and relaxation. That's why students can get involved in university life in a variety of ways, depending on their interests.

The Ecole des Langues Vivantes provides foreign language training for members of the university community. Our aim is to offer local, quality teaching, responding to the academic and professional needs of our learners, whether they are students, future students or international mobility students staying at UNamur.

As a language learner, and a fortiori of English, in the 21st century, we're spoiled: we can create a kind of "immersion" at home and tailored to us by listening to target-language radio channels on the internet every day, watching series and films in their original version on Netflix or on TV, reading articles about anything that interests us online, or communicating with people all over the world on social networks. It's a good start, but to get regular feedback, improve, deepen our knowledge, and open up to sometimes little-known cultural horizons, we need guidance provided by pros. As the poet D.J. Enright wrote, "It takes a long time to learn a new language; / But one almost gets there in the end". There are no short cuts, but we can get you on the right track! So, in the Germanic Languages and Literatures program at UNamur, we organize lots of course-related exercises in small groups, encouraging interactivity and dialogue, with a particular emphasis on conversation. We also try to build a cultural space of our own on our "fifth floor", where our department is located. Examples for English include:sessions devoted to the screening of English-language films in Block 1 and Block 2;a monthly "book club", in a convivial atmosphere (teatime!), in Block 2; workshops and didactic projects linked to the various courses, such as the series of presentations around "keywords and icons of Anglophone cultures"; visits to exhibitions or evenings at the cinema; theatrical performances; our traditional "Christmas party"; didactic trips every two or three years, to London, Edinburgh or elsewhere still. To give you an initial idea of the course content, take a look at the first-year course descriptions... ... in the 1st term: English Language Proficiency History of English Literature and Civilization I ... in 2nd trimester: English Linguistics Analysis of English-language literary texts I For the complete program in Germanic languages and literatures, see this page.

The visibility of the English Unit's research on an international scale is high, thanks to our publications and other scientific activities.

A language and culture can't just be learned, they have to be experienced! To bring the English language and culture even more to life, the English Unit offers you a range of activities, some more recurrent and structural, others more according to the opportunities that arise - exhibitions, films in their original version or even plays organized in Namur, Brussels, Ghent, Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve...

Dutch, more than just the language of Kevin, Bart or Marina The Dutch is not only the language spoken in northern Belgium and Brussels... It's also the official language of almost 18 million people in the Netherlands, Suriname and even the West Indies. Often misunderstood and unloved, this language is the bearer of a culture as rich as it is varied. Knowledge of Dutch outside Dutch-speaking regions offers real economic, cultural and diplomatic added value. It is the multiplicity and dynamism of the Dutch language and culture of yesterday and today that are at the heart of our training.

These two subjects also provide an opportunity to review a few mathematical tools (trigonometry and derivative of a function) essential for tackling a physics course.
